Developer Nemory Oliver, behind the Snap2Chat app, has been working on his next app, a native Facebook messenger app. In has been available to download via the CrackBerry forums in beta form. Now, after a few versions, Messenger is now ready for primetime and is available from BlackBerry World.

If you didn't out the beta version, you can take a look at our hands on video to see the app in action. It's a pretty swift app and if you use Facebook chat a lot then you should definitely give it a look.

Messenger is available for all BlackBerry 10 devices and costs $1.99. Like I said it's slick app and runs fast. It's native and we should support developers continually bringing us great apps to use.

One thing to note is that Messenger doesn't support replying to group chats. This is due to Facebook API limitations. If this was currently possible the developer would have implemented it.

Really??? How about downloading because it's good? I have no problem paying for any apps, but doing it just to show support isn't my thing especially when it's free on other platforms.
I'm sure the developer work very hard on it but I'll pass.

I've purchased it and we'll impressed with it so far - granted it's free on other platforms and yes maybe people are just content with using Android apps however after using Native BB10 apps, I just cannot go back to using ports and this is lovely

In my opinion, it's a solid BB10 Native app and worth purchasing - if I had the choice of using a free app that was an Android Port or paying for a native app then I'd cough up the price for a native app everytime

I hate to dampen any enthusiasm, but I don't see this mentioned anywhere on the apps download page. This does not support replying into group messages. That's a show Stopper for me. It is apparently not doable with the API's that fb makes available to developers. If this were a free app, or if the developer had stated it, I would not be mentioning it here. Just don't want people being disappointed after paying. If that is not an issue for you, I would love to see this BB10 native app supported.

really sorry I forgot to add to the description it doesn't support replying to group chats, but I already just updated the description. just contact our support and we'll be okay to give refunds if you're not satisfied.

Will there never be group support with your app or is this a API limitation? Sorry I'm kind of grumpy in the early A.M. without my coffee and should have added I was more pissed about the missing feature than paying you for the app. The outlay of your app is top notch though yeah the logo probably needs something more.

Still missing a lot of features that I hope will come soon. Mostly HUB integration and headless support.

Currently I use the beta app to get message notifications and then reply to them via the native app through the hub. I never even open the app. Those message notifications need to be in the hub for this app to be useful or really worth paying for.

Not paying for this app ! If u ask me the Dev knows that there's no other FB messenger support Via BlackBerry world so he's making us pay. I purchased plenty apps in my days so I don't mind supporting but 1.99 for an app that's half baked. Nogo for me

No hub support, No headless support, can't send stickers, the Dev could have done a better job with the font. I will probably purchase on the next update pending on what new features and fixes he adds.

It is impossible to say now whether or not Facebook for BlackBerry 10 will be ditching the messages part of the app, as the iOs and Android apps will. This is because Facebook builds and maintains their apps for those platforms, but BlackBerry builds and maintains the Facebook for BlackBerry 10 app.

If some of you want to wait until it is hub integrated and headless so be it, but I hope in the end you end up supporting this great developer.

I buy! just for the sake of supporting this great app developer doing great! must recognize that there is a large part of the work and that deserve to be compensated! and not much money! bb10 need more developers like! with snap2chat did a great job and I do not let show, and I saw it in your app that many updates and improvements are on the way! great work! from Argentina!

For me it is better. That's why I made it. Also note facebook will pull messaging to all their Facebook apps it should includthe BlackBerry 10 Facebook App. And iwll require a separate fb messenger app. Also the reason I made this.

Hey there dev! Just purchased your amazing app but I'm having a bit of a problem. I had this extra security thing and had put up a password but then when i was logging in again I'm unable to get in. Saying that i had a wrong password, after I key in my password I already checked the words and numberd consisting it, so I know I had typed it correctly.please help!
